Disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly has been moved to a federal jail in Chicago ahead of his federal sex crimes trial set to begin on Aug.

15. Kelly was transferred Tuesday from his jail in Brooklyn following sentencing in New York to 30 years behind bars on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

He was placed in the Metropolitan Correctional Center, according to the Chicago Tribune. Kelly was previously held at the same jail in 2019 following indictments in Chicago and New York.

Kelly will now stand trial in Chicago, where he and two former associates will face child pornography and obstruction-of-justice charges following a 2002 trial where Kelly was indicted on 21 counts of child pornography.
